WHAT MAKES YOUR PROGRAMMING DIFFERENT? IS IT LIKE CROSSFIT?

CrossFit is an incredible and proven general fitness training program, which has revolutionized and liberated modern fitness training. Our approach is different, but not hostile. Click HERE for an article describing our thoughts about CrossFit and our differences. Below are some bullet points on the ways our program differs.

Our Focus is outside performance, not gym performance: CrossFit is “the sport of fitness” – and gym numbers/exercises are paramount. We understand that for Mountain and Tactical Athletes, all that matters is outside performance. This allows us to constantly modify/change/improve our programming as we learn and evolve.

Not every training session or circuit is a race: Circuits or other training session parts which are “for time” or are to be sprinted through are clearly indicated in this training plan. Unless the training plan calls for “for time” or “sprint effort” work briskly, not frantically. In general, these sprint efforts will be relegated to parts of Work Capacity training sessions.

WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTH STANDARDS?

It depends on the athlete we’re working with, and what the fitness demands are for their sport/profession:

Equipment Supplier? We use Roguefitness.com and have had great luck with them – except for sandbags. We make our own – click HERE.

WHAT ABOUT NUTRITION?

Our view of nutrition is contrary to most. First, we find the goal of proper nutrition can be and is used as an excuse not to train hard. There are many people with great diets who are severely deconditioned. Likewise, there are many people who have terrible diets, but are very fit.

We do believe that a bad diet will limit and hinder your fitness. Eat well, train hard, get plenty of sleep, and you’ll make great gains. It’s an element of your training.

Third, we believe strict, onerous diets are not sustainable over the long run. And we’re in it for the long run.

Finally, “event” nutrition is different from daily nutrition. If you have a long run, big climb, or tactical mission ahead, carbo load or you’ll likely bonk.

Here’s our Nutritional Guidelines:
6 Days a Week: Eat lean meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and drink water. Don’t eat carbs (bread, spuds, rice) or sugar.
1 Day a Week: Cheat like a mother! Beer, pizza, ice cream – you name it! We’ve found you can’t eat clean over the long term without cheating. We’ve also found the longer you stick to this diet, the less you’ll “cheat” on your cheat days, and the more cheating will hurt you – i.e. stomach ache, gas, etc.

I’M JUST VISITING JACKSON. CAN I ATTEND A TRAINING SESSION?

Most the time, yes. We have followers around the world and many want to see the place in person and train with the Lab Rats while on vacation in Jackson. We generally do our best to get them in. Email coach@mtntactical.com
